Association between daily activities and fall in older adults: an analysis of longitudinal ageing study in India (2017-18).
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDeclining functionality affects an individual's musculoskeletal integrity increasing the risk of fall and disability. Individuals with severe functional limitations are 5 times more likely to experience a fall. Thus, this paper investigated the association between functional decline and falls in older adults.
methodsThis study uses secondary data from the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (2017-18). A total of 31,477 people over the age of 60 are included in the study. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis were performed to determine the association between activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) and fall. Adjusted odds ratio was used to determine the association of ADL and IADL with fall while controlling for age, gender, balance and gait impairments.
resultsThe study reported 6352 fall episodes in 3270 participants aged 60 and above, over a period of 2 years. More than 30% of participants reported difficulty in ADL and IADL. Age and gender adjusted odds of fall were higher in participants with difficulty in more than 4 ADLs (AOR:1.32; CI:1.08 - 1.67) and in more than 2 IADL (AOR: 1.39; CI:1.02 - 1.89). Similarly, the odds of fall were higher for difficulty in ADL (AOR:1.31; CI:1.11 - 1.73) and IADL (AOR of 1.18; CI:1.07 - 1.29) controlling for gait and balance impairment. Difficulty in pushing-pulling objects (AOR: 1.30; CI: 1.15 - 1.46 & AOR: 1.40; CI: 1.21-1.61) and getting up from the chair (AOR: 1.12; CI:1.01-1.26 & AOR: 1.27; CI: 0.99 - 1.26) was significantly associated with fall when adjusted for age, gender and balance and gait parameters.
conclusionsThis study provides the new insights into the association of fall and risk of functional decline, especially difficulty in pushing and pulling objects and getting up from a chair, can be incorporated in the primary screening of fall risk assessment.
